Silverlight Virtual Earth, Part 3 Project "Deep Earth" launches

Sat, 14 Jun 2008 07:52:08 GMT

Today we launched project "Deep Earth" on codeplex. This open source project will bring together skills from developers all over the world to continue this concept and ultimately create a useable Silverlight control. Seven people have joined the fun: Shaun Becker, Jonas Follesø, Bronwen Zande, Darko Radiceski, Nicolas Boonaert, Rob Farley and myself John O'Brien. What a great mix of people!

The feedback from Part 1 has been great! There is definitely interest in this. Shaun Becker sent through this gem that removes my proxy server completely!

Silverlight Virtual Earth, Part 1 using Deep Zoom - Sample

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 14:58:15 GMT

Silverlight and Virtual Earth are made for each other, but how best do we go about creating a Virtual Earth control in Silverlight? First up lets look at utilising the existing Deep Zoom control to serve up the base image tiles. In this proof of concept we have little more then a stock MultiScaleImage control hooked up to some appropriately created configuration XML, the output is only 6.8KB for the client! And check out the results on video:

Innovative use of Silverlight and DeepZoom

Fri, 30 May 2008 15:27:17 GMT

Take a few minutes and look at this video of Jose Fajardo re-demonstrating one of his ReMIX features shown using Silverlight and DeepZoom. Are you kidding me?! Seriously, Jose has a great imagination and an incredible sense for effectively demonstrating things. In this video he answers questions posed to himself like "what if all web images were DeepZoom-able?" and "what if all the documents on the web were DeepZoom-able?" Then he gets crazy and suggests that people could collaborate with a DeepZoom image and demonstrates this using a Silverlight chat experience built using network sockets. I love his context of showing an x-ray and possibly having physicians review this together.

"I took a reasonable resolution version of the Silverlight 2 Developer Reference Poster and crossed that with the Deep Zoom Composer, added a JS mouse wheel library and in about 5 minutes had a Deep Zoom version of the poster running in Silverlight." Source available, too!
